Russian Ministry of Finance Continues Bitcoin Witch Hunt

As far as Russian government officials are concerned, the Ruble is the only legal currency to be used in the country. Moreover, the Central Bank is the only legal entity allowed to issue currency in the country, regardless of whether this money comes in paper or electronic form. Any monetary substitute will be classified as illegal in Russia, and Bitcoin would certainly fall into that category.
